On this episode of Saturn’s Favorite Music, Laura Lee welcomes back fan-favorite guest Jenny Hunter for a deep dive into adult-contemporary greatness, confusion, and accidental murder ballads. They tackle the eternal sing-along that is The Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” grade Phil Collins’ infinitely repeating “One More Night,” question the chart-smashing mystery of Kenny G’s “Sentimental,” and attempt to solve the soft-rock true-crime puzzle of Richard Marx’s “Hazard.” Along the way, they debate bathroom songs, circular breathing, karaoke-booth reverb, suspicious rivers that don’t exist, and why a melodic ballad somehow involves a possible homicide.

Clara hangs her first apartment posters in Saturn’s Favorite Music—and Episode 4 dives into the soundtrack behind them. Laura Lee sits down with her niece, Sophia, a musical-theater fan, who listens to Primal Scream, The Sugarcubes, The Cure, and The Stone Roses for the very first time.

From the surreal swirl of “Birthday” to the moody sprawl of “Fascination Street,” Sophia gives fresh, sharp takes on songs that shaped early-90s alternative radio. And when “Made of Stone” turns out to be both catchy and lyrically grim—“everything a car crash is not”—the discussion becomes a perfect example of how tone and meaning collide in the music of the era.

On this episode of Saturn’s Favorite Music, Laura Lee sits down with longtime friends Jane Taylor and Justin Miller for a free-wheeling trip through the darker corners of 80s/90s alternative: Ministry’s “Every Day Is Halloween” and “N.W.O.,” Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like a Hole,” and Tones on Tail’s “Go!”. They trace the jump from synth-pop to industrial, misheard lyrics and buried samples, club dance-floor memories, and why a “boppy bop-bop” goth anthem and a supposedly unlistenable industrial track can both still feel strangely cathartic in 2025.
